giant African snails

[evo4a]

We have babies, anyone want one?
We are in Bishops Stortford, Herts.
Donation to my sons pocket money essential (he insisted on me adding this)
Very easy to keep, but they do grow big.


You just need a small fish tank with deep compost in the bottom, cabbage leaves and cuttlefish shell.

They are currently about the size of a very small pea.

the picture was just an internet one ..... the 2 snails we have are 3 years old and about the size of a tennis ball.
They are easily trained, one goes to the newsagents and brings back the newspaper ... we sent him off last year, he should be back soon.... boom boom

They make a remarkably tasty stirfry with chillis (I am told). A shop in Peckham sells them for culinary purposes and an African cafe in Catford was featured on the box for its 'recipe'

Last weekend I killed 35 snails that were on my beans.... I'm so scared of these
